WTB TPI intake tube mounting bolts

I am looking for a set of TPI intake tube mounting bolts for a 1989 5.0L TPI. Somewhere in the 60,000 mile life of my Formula, someone has replaced 5 of the bolts with standard hex bolts. The bolts I am looking for should be black torx head bolts. Does anyone know where I can find them? Thanks,

Sorry for the delay. I finally got a set of torx bits so I could remove one of the bolts. They are metric M8 x 1 1/4" (yes I am old school and use metric and US to describe the same bolt). I could use 8 of them, but need a minimum of 4. Let me know if you have them and how I can buy them from you.


Thanks,

Re: WTB TPI intake tube mounting bolts

There are 3 different lengths of that bolt for the intake, best to know which positions they will need to go in to get the correct length..

Is there any way to know what length goes In each spot? Half of mine have been replaced with hex head bolts, so I am not sure any of them are right if there are different lengths. I ordered a set from Corvette Central last November and I am still waiting for the backorder. If I can find them, I will cancel the order.
